"Catherine Bennett's bad day turns into a real nightmare when a man is shot and dies in her arms. The murder victim stole information from a group of ruthless criminals, and the killer thinks he told Cathy where he hid it before he died. After Cathy is kidnapped, threatened and nearly killed, she decides she'd better find the information before the criminals do. How else is a girl supposed to be able to make a trip to the dry cleaner in peace?"
